Deep Disintegration
 |
Three Questions
The death rattles of an outdated multi-thousand year old vision of the human experience, built by the architectural firm Fear & Control Inc., seems to have outgrown its evolutionary usefulness. This vision generates through a deeply felt nonverbal experience, operates through thinking and behavior patterns that interpret and express this experience, and disintegrates through the inadequacy of the deep experiences that create these interpretations and expressions.
To reiterate, it seems that three conditions manifest a reality-vision:
1. How do I fundamentally experience Universe? OR How does Universe fundamentally experience Me?
2. How do I think about and interpret this fundamental experience? How does this fundamental experience become interpreted and thought about through me?
3. How do I act upon the interpretations of this fundamental experience? How does the interpretations of this fundamental experience act upon me?
In general, our basic scheme of relating with “self” and “other” seems to be through an I-It dynamic rather than an I-Thou dynamic. This leads toward reductionistic interpretations that express a disjointed world, as evidenced by the malfunctioning of diverse human institutions.
A Prison of Re-cycled Oldies
Alienation from a basic experience of Oneness leads to fragmentation, false duality, strong ego-attachments, fear of unitive experiences, a low sensitivity to Orgone currents, and an unperceptiveness to the morphic resonances that record our destructive actions. These pre- and trans- linguistic fundamentals of experience become encoded into our language filters. Many people do not understand the nature of these filters and make the mistake of not distinguishing between the map and territory, causing the belief that a seperation of words means a seperation of things in phenomenological reality. Thus the fragmentation of existence increases. Habits of linear thinking and dogmatic assumptions lead to: an inability to make sense of disconnected parts of experience, an inflexibility of mind that rejects socratic methods of inquiry, and the ineffective re-cycling of old thought-patterns to solve new problems. An example of these re-cylced thought-patterns are the major world religions. Anachronistic religions inadequate for the present world crises seem to be little more than systems of political control that breed literalist interpretations of dogma, fundamentalist cults, and extremists physically acting out the narratives of holy books.
A Sexual Dissolve
Our receptiveness to sexual energy (orgone energy) ---which ecompasses more than simple reproduction and permeates beyond the physical body --- can be seen as a marker of origin for CULTumor. A sex-negative armoring against Orgone Energy (bioenergetic currents, life-force etc.) leads to collective neuromuscular rigidity, behaviors that deny rather than embrace experience, and rape-seperative fantasies rather than fusion-unitive fantasies. The hyper-sexualization of modern culture seems to be a gut reaction against earlier hyper-conservative attitudes, yet this ethic seems entangled in the same sex-negative armoring and points towards the need for a new eroticism.
This new eroticism would embrace boundary dissolution leading to an integrative ethic that contrasts sharply with the shallow ecological ethic that underpins the drive towards atmosphere, biosphere, and hydrosphere pollution. In the tireless search for marketable commodities, the innate right for an organism to live becomes ignored, habitats become destroyed, and fish are caught beyond replacement capability. This leads to the endangerment and extinction of many species (forecasted at 25% in coming years), the disruption of ecological balances they maintained, and ethnocide---the death of human cultures, including their languages and worldviews.
Meet Profit, Our Deity
In many industrialized cultures, the stratification of people seems to be the outgrowth of a sex-negative character armor that encourages greed, competitveness, a strict-materialistic worldview, and the commoditization of most things. At nearly all times, a low-level form of anxiety oscillates around the hive, easily ramped up to the hysteria of “terrorism! terrorism!” that justifies enormous hate-campaigns and further alienates people. These subjective and inter-subjective experiences interweave into flawed infinite-resource assumptions that ignore ecological principles regarding the limits of Natural Capital to form the dangerous illusions our economic paradigms rest upon. Greed and predatory inter-personal relations foster actions that extract money away from collective pools, make “wealth” and “illth” indistinguishable as the drive for more profit outweighs all concerns (especially ethical ones), measures economic success with inadequate metrics, employ’s workers that are alienated from the fruits of their labor, widens the gap between rich and poor, and creates a large percentage of meaningless jobs. Money reigns supreme in this framework and central banking authorities (like the private Federal Reserve) that control the creation of public money are like deities, whose powers include: 1. the ability to artificially induce inflation/deflation 2. the ability to create profit out of thin air by the use of exotic financial instruments (like derivatives) that produce little of tangible value. 3. the ability to block money’s ability to be dispersed freely as a social tool of renumeration to be used for infrastructure building 4. the ability to accumulate massive amounts of debt (which all require interest payments!).
Enterprising politicians seem to be nothing more than actors in a theater production written, funded, and directed by mega-corporations and their lobbying campaigns. These multi-nationals are run by a small elite psychotically obsessed with increasing profit -- regardless of humanitarian & ecological consequences. They mold politics by funding elections campaigns for puppet politicians in exchange for legislative favors. Within this environment of constant anxiety, the fear of saying or doing the “wrong thing” leads many politicians towards creating and supporting dangerously short-sighted policy that hardly looks beyond the next election cycle. Both the puppet-politicians and director-corporations become increasingly distanced from the people they’re supposed to be serving and create dehumanized methods of interpersonal exchange that lead to institutional inefficiency, like the prolonged lag times for dealing with simple problems.
The business of war entices both the financial and political factions. Warfare was, is, and probably will continue to be a very profitable enterprise (weapons development, re-construction contracts, communication technologies etc.), leading to an increase in the strength of technologies of destruction (biological & nuclear warfare etc.) as well as a move to distance actions from consequences by controlling on-ground machinery through computers far away.
Pesticide for Evolution
Our socio-cultural mode of operation requires enormous streams of energy. Often these tend to be unrenewable resources extracted in ecologically & geopolitically damaging ways. The vast clearing of land and the concentration of resources for extraction processes comes at a time when inequality in resource distribution leads to a situation in which an individual’s Earthshare---the amount of land needed to sustain them---is rapidly declining.
Large scale agriculture contributes to the problem by operating under the business-framework of producing more profit rather than the nutrition-framework of producing healthy food leads to quantity becoming much more important that quality. Ethically scarring, unsustainable, and ecoloically damaging growing operations (crowded CAFOs with drug-infested animals & monoculture fields coated with pesticides) consume vast amounts of scare resources (water & land), pollute the surroundings, and require enormous inputs of (often unrenewable) energy resources---all to produce a product of low nutritious quality. The regular ingestion of such products often leads to physical and mental sickness, as evidenced by the sharp rise in obesity and anti-depressent drug use. This situation ensures a steady stream of new customers for the “health-care” industry, an enterprise that’s little more than a legitimized drug cartel that integrates a strictly materialistic view of sickness with an economic drive towards profit leading to the rise of the Pop-A-Pill-Paradigm (POPP), the simultaneous emergence of new diseases and their expensive cures, and the creation of enormous treatment debts.
This socio-cultural framework seems to produce a decrease in the sum total of human imagination by way of: educational methods that lead to standardized and dogmatic students, the diversion of creativity into producing technologies of destruction, and the conditioning of R-brain reactions that cut off experiences of higher-consciousness. Our factory model of outcome-based education churns out (largely) standardized, creatively stifled, and predictable students with an inflexible and monotheistic approach to knowledge as well as a preoccupation with memorizing what to learn rather than a pratical understanding of how to learn (critical thinking skills, trivium method etc.) This vulnerability becomes exploited by large media conglomerates that (mostly) produce a narrow range of low quality discussion. People are persuasively sold (through the use of logical fallacies and magick---hypnotic song, movement, and visualization) intellectual dogmas and emotional fetishes. This encourages a passive slave-mentality and decreases the total inflow of human novelty.
All of humanity living within the web of this collective vibration suffers...
